LETTER: 'Great communicator' fights for sanity and has the Royal Household on toast

From Mr G. T. Brown

Sir: I thought your analysis of the Charles/Di situation brilliant but I do not think you give Charles enough credibility regarding the common touch. I know personally how much help he has given to very humble, ordinary people to get started in business, and written to them using their Christian names, with real friendship, not PR.

The best thing that can happen to the monarchy as an institution is for Charles and Di to get back together, whatever the personal sacrifice.

Yours faithfully,

G. T. Brown
